Thickness is an important property of tissue paper and tissue products
In the tissue industry, thickness-related parameters, such as the roll diameter of rolled products (kitchen towel) or the stack height of folded products (paper towels) are often measured However, the fact that not only end-use tissue products, but also the base tissue paper from which these products are made, is the subject of trade between companies and countries, means that there is a genuine need for a consistent measure of thickness that can be applied to tissue products at any stage of their manufacture The thickness of tissue paper and tissue products is known to be dependent on the pressure applied to the material at the time of measurement Several different loading pressures, pressure-foot diameters and loading speeds have been used within the tissue industry This part of ISO 12625 has been prepared
by harmonizing those standards applicable to tissue and tissue products currently in use It specifies a single loading pressure, foot diameter and loading speed to be used for all thickness measurements of tissue and tissue products
It is expressly stated that the detection of impurities and contraries in tissue paper and tissue products should be applied according to ISO 15755
For the determination of moisture content in tissue paper and tissue products, ISO 287 or ISO 638 should
be applied

Trang 8
bulking thickness
thickness of a single sheet of tissue paper or tissue product, calculated from the thickness of several superimposed sheets, measured under the applied static load specified in this part of ISO 12625
3.4
apparent bulk density
mass per unit volume of tissue paper or tissue product, calculated from its grammage and bulking thickness
Note 1 to entry: The apparent bulk density is expressed in grams per cubic centimetre
3.5
bulk
apparent specific bulk volume
inverse of density
Note 1 to entry: The bulk is expressed in cubic centimetres per gram
3.6
grammage
mass of a unit area of tissue paper or tissue product as determined by the procedure in ISO 12625-6
4 Principle
Measurement of the thickness of a test piece of tissue paper sampled during the manufacturing process
or of a tissue product supplied as a finished article The measurement being made as the distance between a fixed reference plate on which the sample rests and a parallel pressure-foot that exerts a specified load on the area under test
5 Apparatus
5.1 Precision dead-weight micrometer
This has two parallel, horizontal faces, flat to within 0,003 mm, between which the test piece is placed The lower face shall be fixed and the upper face (pressure-foot) moveable in a direction perpendicular
to the plane of the fixed face
The upper, circular, pressure-foot shall have a diameter of (35,7 ± 0,1) mm giving a nominal area of 10,0 cm2 and shall be parallel to the lower face within limits defined in Annex B.3
The lower face shall be constructed to support the test piece such that the test piece lies flat while under test In practice, the lower face should have minimum dimensions 20 % larger than the diameter of the pressure-foot The pressure between the two faces shall be (2,0 ± 0,1) kPa (see Annex C)
The measuring speed shall be (2,0 ± 0,2) mm/s
The instrument read-out/scale shall be graduated in increments of 0,001 mm
The opening between the pressure-foot and the lower face is set by agreement between the instrument supplier and the customer For most thickness measurements, instruments with an opening of 10 mm
or 12 mm will normally be suitable When only single sheet or single-ply measurement is required, an opening of 2 mm to 3 mm is sufficient
Trang 9``,`,,,````,,,,,,``,`,```,`-`-`,,`,,`,`,,` -ISO 12625-3:2014(E)
5.2 Gauge blocks
These are used for calibrating the micrometer, corresponding to approximately 10 %, 30 %, 50 %, 70 % and 90 % of the full-scale reading of the micrometer The thickness of each gauge at 23 °C shall be known
to an accuracy of 0,001 mm or better
5.3 Balance and attachments
A suitable balance and attachments or calibrated load cell capable of measuring up to 300 g with an accuracy of 0,01 g to be used for calibration of the pressure-foot load
6 Conditioning
Condition the samples according to ISO 187 The sample shall remain in the standard atmosphere throughout the testing
7 Preparation of test pieces
7.1 General
If the tests are being made to evaluate a lot, the sample shall be selected in accordance with ISO 186
If the tests are being made on another type of sample make sure the specimens taken are representative
of the sample
Each test piece shall be free from perforations and faults not normally inherent in the tissue
Test piece dimensions are not critical, but they shall allow measurements to be performed with a minimum spacing of 50 mm between each measurement area and 10 mm to the edges of the test piece Large specimens may be cut to a reasonable size When cutting, the test piece shall not be subjected to pressure that could alter the thickness
7.2 Single-ply thickness
Prepare 10 test pieces sampled either directly from the tissue machine, or, in case of single-ply finished product, during or after the converting process Single-ply thickness shall not be performed on separated plies of a multi-ply product
Do not attempt to separate plies that are bonded with adhesive or significant pressure
Plies from different positions in a multi-ply product shall not be assumed to be the same
7.3 Single-ply sheet thickness
Prepare 10 test pieces of single or multi-ply product sampled during or after the converting process
7.4 Bulking thickness
Multi-ply sheets shall not be separated into individual plies Stacks shall normally contain 12 plies In case of products for which the number of plies do not divide 12, a number of plies as close as possible of
12 has to be considered Where the stack height using 12 plies is too large for the maximum opening of the instrument in use, a lower number of plies may be used, but this should not be less than eight In all cases, report the number of sheets and the number of plies per sheet used
Prepare a sufficient number of stacks to be able to perform 10 separate measurements All stacks shall comprise the same number of superimposed sheets, all oriented in the same way

Trang 10``,`,,,````,,,,,,``,`,```,`-`-`,,`,,`,`,,` -8 Procedure
Place the micrometer on a horizontal vibration-free surface within the conditioned atmosphere defined
in ISO 187 and allow it to ‘warm-up’ according to the manufacturer’s instructions
The working faces of the micrometer shall be clean
Check the zero setting of the micrometer and adjust it if necessary
Verify the calibration of the micrometer as defined in B.1
Raise the pressure-foot and insert the test pieces between the lower face and the pressure-foot Allow
the pressure-foot to move down onto the test pieces at the controlled speed (5.1) After 5 s, record the
thickness to the nearest 0,001 mm
Repeat the measurement on the remaining test pieces until at least 10 measurements have been recorded
Between successive readings, make sure that the working faces are free from dust
If the apparent bulk density or the bulk of the sample is to be calculated, determine the grammage of the
sample by the test method described in ISO 12625-6
9 Calculation
9.1 Single-ply thickness
Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the 10 (or more) readings and report the single ply
thickness tp to the nearest 0,01 mm and standard deviation to three significant figures
9.2 Single sheet thickness
Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the 10 (or more) readings and report the single sheet
thickness ts to the nearest 0,01 mm and standard deviation to three significant figures
9.3 Bulking thickness
Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the 10 (or more) readings Divide both by the number of
sheets (not plies) in each pack and report the result as the bulking thickness tb to the nearest 0,01 mm
and standard deviation to three significant figures
9.4 Apparent bulk density
Calculate the apparent bulk density, x, in grams per cubic centimetre according to Equation (1):
t
=
×
where
g is the grammage, in grams per square metre (g/m2);
tb is the bulking thickness, in millimetres (mm).
Report the apparent bulk density to two significant figures
